Last month, an intimate group of forward-thinking nonprofit leaders and industry experts convened in the Redwoods outside San Francisco, led by Brett Hagler and the New Story team in partnership with Funraise. The purpose of the time was to exchange ideas and experiences among these leaders, all of whom are committed to scaling their impact. My takeaways from our time: 🌲 Slower can be faster. By pausing to find alignment and seek input from other qualified people, you can get you where you’re trying to go faster than you can if you’re sprinting in the wrong direction. 🌲 When you’re considering a big swing, ask yourself this question: Based on the impact you think you can have, would it be irresponsible not to try? 🌲 Big, ambitious goals are smart people bait. If you want to draw a talented team around you, be brave. The unique intimacy and high-quality content of the event seems to have struck a chord, meeting a need that’s gone unmet by other events in this space. We are considering doing another round this year, and want to make sure there is a contingent who would be eager to join us. It will once again be invite-only, so please signal your interest by filling out the quick form below (linked in comments). There’s no obligation at this stage--it just lets me know you’d be interested in being considered. If you have someone else in mind, share the link freely and have them fill it out. Keep up the good work out there. 💪 Maybe I’ll see you in the Redwoods soon!
